few.
Thursday is
also the day that those interested in .me domains
have to start getting in their backorders if they want to
be included in NameJet's exclusive premium
.me domain auction. Backorders for the first
three names on their list, Chat.me, Photo.me
and Monitor.me have to be in by 11pm (US Pacific

four more groups of three names each will fall daily
Friday through Monday. The three-day auctions each begin

There
will also be a live domain auction Friday
(Sept. 25) on the opening day of the second
annual MeetDomainersconference at the Marriott Hotel in Warsaw,
Poland. That sale will feature primarily Polish
.pl and European Union .eu ccTLD
domains. Bidding for most domains
will start at $1
with no reserve price. You can see the complete
catalog here. The event starts at
3:30pm (CET) Friday, which is Greenwich Mean Time
+ 1 hour. It is also
possible to bid
online but you need to hurry because Wednesday
(Sept. 23) is the last day to register at http://live.aftermarket.pl. Organizers are expecting approximately 100
attendees at the conference which will continue
through Sunday.
There is another
auction deadline to be aware of this week.
Friday (Sept. 25) is the deadline to submit
premium domains for Moniker's
live auctionOctober 28 at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York conference.
RickLatona.com
will also be conducting a live auction at
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York (this will be the last
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. shows to have multiple auction
providers as Rick Latona Auctions has exclusive
rights to run all T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auctions in
2010). Their live event at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York
will be held on October 27 and you can
still submit
domains for that sale here. They have
no yet posted a submission deadline but it would
be wise to submit any names you wish to have
considered now to avoid missing the cutoff.
